How to make honey grapefruit tea, what are the effects of honey grapefruit tea

Pour in a cup of pure water and stir gently with a spoon. The grapefruit peel and flesh will gradually separate from the stickiness of the honey, scattering a cup of golden silk and jade threads, becoming more moist and refreshing. At this time, the unique fragrance of grapefruit mixed with the sweetness of honey gradually permeated the air. Take a sip and savor the softness of the grapefruit peel. Although most of the bitterness has been removed after being boiled in rock sugar and soaked in honey, its fragrance still stubbornly penetrates into every drop of honey. When you taste it again, you will find that there is actually a slight bitterness lingering in the sweet fragrance of the grapefruit honey. Just as life is sweet with a hint of bitterness, the sweetness after the bitterness becomes more fragrant.

How to make honey grapefruit tea:

1. Wash a grapefruit, wipe off the wax on the skin with salt; soak it in boiling water for ten minutes and then wash it clean.

2. Use a fruit knife to peel the grapefruit. You can decide the thickness of the skin according to your taste. The yellow skin on the surface is fragrant, while the white inner layer is bitter. If you are afraid of bitterness, peel it thinner; cut into thin strips and soak in salt water for ten minutes to remove the bitterness.

3. Break up the pulp. You can also use a blender, but I like the granular texture. Prepare rock sugar and one to two bowls of water. Wash the pomelo peel soaked in salt and drain it slightly.

4. Put rock sugar and water in the pot, boil the rock sugar until it dissolves, then add the grapefruit peel.

5. After boiling, add pomelo pulp and simmer over low heat.

6. As the water evaporates, the grapefruit syrup will become more and more viscous. At this time, you should pay attention to stirring to avoid sticking to the pot. When the water is basically dried up, you can turn off the heat. After it has cooled completely, put it into a can and add honey to the can until it is full. Then put it in the refrigerator and it can be consumed after ten days.

7. Look, the finished grapefruit tea has a soft golden red color. Take a sip, it’s sweet and slightly bitter, with a long aftertaste.
